The Official Nonsense Thread

[Cassie]

Seems like you're beginning to feel like I do.
When free-spirits get trapped, particularly in a bad place for them, the result isn't good.
I went through severe depression some years ago, which this forum was unlucky enough to see develop, so I know all about it. Not sure you're at that stage yet, unless you're cutting yourself and I don't know about it.

I'm embarrassed by some of the things I posted back then, but you have to remember I was 14/15 and tell you the truth? My life was effed, I can't sugar-coat it and pretend like I didn't have a legit reason to be how I was, but I am sincerely sorry if I got on your nerves or brought your down. Honestly, you didn't get the worst of it. It got worse...

My life isn't great now, but it's BETTER, and I'm still learning to handle things better. My depression ended when school ended, mostly. When the effects of what my step-dad did mellowed out for me a little. When I found out we weren't homeless. Half of that depression was anorexia and bulimia, which I am neither of anymore, physically at least. Mentally, I cry over my body every single day, it's not something that goes away. :\ Remember ages ago how I said I was dieting, eating like a couple bowl of oats and a banana a day? Then I stuffed my face like a few days later. That was my usual diet. Starve and then stuff myself, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. That is really emotionally screwy.

I don't think you're at the stage I was yet. I say don't let yourself sink too deep, even if it doesn't seem that serious to you right now, things can escalate out of your control.

I don't want you to be sad, Steven. Think of all the positives you've got and hold onto them tightly. (:
